About Us

Welcome to the exciting world of specialty cruises. Many have asked me, 'What exactly do you mean by a specialty cruise?' In a moment of frustration I actually said to someone, 'Any cruise that's not on a metal carcass'!

But to be more helpful, specialty cruises encompass any or all of these:

• unique destinations
• uncommon vessels
• unusual cruise themes

Ours is an ambitious project, but we're well on our way to providing the largest collection of specialty cruises found anywhere. It's hard to fathom, but there are over 250 specialty cruise lines throughout the world. And this state-of-the-art website will house an encyclopedic collection of information and advice on specialty cruises. You'll find:

• an online catalog of specialty and small ship cruises that you can browse through and search by cruise line, vessel, destination, cruise theme, vessel capacity — and in so many other ways
• a virtual cruise community where you can access an extensive cruise library of articles and reviews, forums, blogs, and photo galleries — all dedicated to specialty cruising
• a unique method that connects you to a Specialty Cruise Advisor who has insider knowledge and expertise on the very cruise, destination, vessel, or cruise theme that interests you

We really are the ultimate resource, community, and travel center devoted exclusively to specialty cruises. It's my sincere hope that you find this website a tremendous help in planning your next 'uncommon' cruise.

To the pier!
